I’m a relative newbie to infertility (only two years in) but I’m already just so very sick of it. I’m sick of the invasive testing, the drugs, the patronising advice (take a holiday/relax/etc), the heartache.
I know it will all be worth it in the end (more patronising advice) IF it works. But that if is so large. The reality is our odds are less than 20%. Probably a lot lower actually.
So how do I know if this is just a bump in the road or if it’s time to call the whole thing off, grieve properly for what will not be? At the moment I feel the flickering hope is the worst bit. I just cannot work out how I could put myself, or my husband through more years of this but at the same time while the flicker of hope exists will I regret not trying everything possible?
